Seward Cafe is the oldest cooperatively run restaurant in the United States, and they’re still about 12k short of the funds they need to stay open. It’s such a special place, and that’s honestly not that high a number! Let’s all pitch in to save the community center!

In 1971, Henry Fonda played the Vietnam War in a TV ad. Last week a Russian actor took the role. Nikita Kukushkin, in exile since condemning the invasion of Ukraine, faces the camera: I am war. Help me kill. Don't protest. Don't follow the news. Have a latte on Patriarch's Ponds.

This very evening, in Columbia Heights, HSI and local police kidnapped another of our neighbors. They were all remarkably relaxed. Over the winter, they were rampaging; now they are quiet and confident. We could not stop them. 19/x
